What's inside my make up bag?

So one post that I repeatedly keep seeing and loving is 'What's in my makeup bag?'. If you're like me, a complete and utter nosey parker, then you'll love this type of post. I find that I can pick up some amazing tips and reading how other people use their products can give me inspiration. This is just my general work/day time makeup bag.

FaceAs I've grown older and into my skin, gone are the days of heavy bronzing. I much prefer my foundation to match my skin colouring and focus on trying to achieve the flawless look, so needless to say I do not use too many products on my face. I recently stopped using blusher on a day to day basis as my current shade (benefit - Bella Bamba) makes me look like a china doll with painted on cheeks, so the search for a perfect pink blush begins.

1. MAC Pro Longwear Foundation - NW20.

2. Eco Tools Kabuki Brush

3. Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Face Primer - 002

4. Benefit 'Hello Flawless' - Toffee

5. Benefit Erase Paste - 01 Fair

6. Eco Tools Airbrush Concealer Brush

7. Ruby & Millie Foundation Brush

Eyebrows

I absolutely love doing my eyebrows, no matter how much make up I have on I feel naked without them filled in. I could never get on with the brow kits that have the wax counterpart, so I bought a clear mascara to tame and set my brows after there filled.

1. The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit - 02

2. Miss Sporty - Just Clear Mascara

3. Benefit mini duel ended brush - came in set and thought it was perfect for my brows.

Lips

I have recently fallen in love with benefits new hydra-smooth lip colours. I used to absolutely love Benefits old lip sticks, 'Jing-a-ling' was never off my lips, but they seemed to have stopped selling it, boohoo. But alas they have shot straight back into my good books with the release of their new lip colours.

Benefit Hydra-Smooth Lip Colour - Wing Woman

Must Have's

Extras I have to need to have to hand. My trusty tweezers, especially since my eyebrows have the ability to grow over night, lucky me *rolls eyes*. ﻿
